Welcome to the UK International Center

The University of Kentucky International Center (UKIC) leads internationalization efforts at the University of Kentucky. Associate Provost for International Programs, Dr. Susan Carvalho, leads UKIC with the support of the Leadership Team, and the International Advisory Council, a group of faculty and administrators representing each of the University’s 16 colleges plus other key academic units.

Located in Bradley Hall in the center of UK’s campus, UKIC serves as a resource center for the University’s vital international linkages by supporting the development of agreements and partnerships with universities, foreign governments, NGOs, and U.S. government agencies abroad; promoting the involvement of UK faculty members, staff, and students in international research, development projects, and related activities; and facilitating access to international funding opportunities.

UKIC also comprises Education Abroad, International Student and Scholars Services (ISSS) and works in close partnership with Undergraduate Enrollment Management, the Center for English as a Second Language, and the Graduate School, to recruit a growing number of international students to UK each year.
